Trip to the Cape

We took a trip to the Cape last week. We stayed at a great hotel in
Chatham (thanks L & S!). We loved our time in Chatham and look
forward to future visits.



Chatham Lightouse. One of several along the Cape.




After visiting the lighthouse, we walked down to the beach where,
if you walked out about a mile, you could get a really great view
of the seals. What a sight!

I hear there are great white sharks looming around there right now.
We missed them by a week. I'm sure they are there for the seals.




No beach trip would be complete without searching for shells and shell
skipping. :-)

The second day, we went to Fishing Pier. We watched a few boats
come in with their loads of what they told us were dog fish. They
looked like little sharks. The seals were swimming around the pier
waiting for one of the fisherman to let one slip into the water.
They were in luck that morning, as one slipped from the boat as it
was being loaded into the container on the dock.

Totally cool! We've seen seals swimming by, but not lounging on the beach. It's like being in San Diego!
